IMPROVEMENT IN" TOYS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD L. TAYLOR, of VHartford, in` the county ofHartford, and State oi' Connect` y icnt, have ini'ented a. newIlnprovexnentin Toy tlerpetual Grinderg and I do hereby declare thefollowing,` when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings undthe letters Oi' reference' marked thereon,

' to he n fnll,-clenr, and exact description of the suine,

ward, whichdestroys thewheel for the purpose designed.

lheohject of my invention is to sustain the .edge ofthe wheel so that itwill not sag, and consists in constructing the wheelwilh a rim atiixedto each ot' the fans, andshorten'ing the lim so :1s-to diminish itscircumference, and thereby raise the edge of thewheel above the center.

r A isthe center of the wheel, with severai rru's, B, extending out` toa, rim, C, the space between each' ot" the arms. beingcut so as to leavethey material cut on every arm, which saidxcut peut, D, is turned down`ward, as seen in figs. 1 and 2. 'This is cut from asini gie piece ofpaper or pnstebonrd, und if the surface be left Hat, the wheelbeingsupported only on the hub E in the center, the edges will soon sagand the wheel become nntit for use. Io prevent this l shorten the riin'of the wheel by bendingthe rim as at v,torlu` 'ing hvonnglt-Is, whichshortens the rim by so much us the said two angles, and to make thismore securegI prefer to cont the hent part o with' glue or other sizing,which sets it in that position.

Substantially thesmne result may be attained hy` cutting the rim at oneOr more places, und overlapping the ends'so as to contract the lim.

` The result of thus shortening the rini is to curveor dish the wheel,as seen in iig. 3, whieh-preventsnll possibility of' the wheel -saggingor working out of shape. I

1 claim as myiinvention- In the construct-ion of paper wind-wheels fortoys, shortening;r the rln C by overlapping or bendingr the same., as:It c, so as to curve and support the 1wheel, snhsunltially in themanuel-'and for the purpose described.
